Lol that too. Really just to walk in and pick up ordered or a mystery box like how they have at cons. I mean the “other guys” just opened up a store front and I have to say I’m jealous US doesn’t. But I also understand the other guys are more simplistic and what Emory and the others at US do is more complicated. But it would be nice to go in and say man I like this saber I see right here. I would like to order it
but at the same time, not having a store front means less overhead. keeps prices lower too. |

As a non-American I don't really have a need for this, especially when prices would go up like you say. I'd rather have phone connectivity that makes the prices higher  |

A blade construction option, at time of purchase customization, where it lights up progressively starting from the emitter towards the blade tip.
Isn't this an option already at US?

can only do that with string blades...and those don't last long with actual dueling. |

right. like a drive thru. "I'd like a Dominix LE V4 in artic blue stunt." "can I get a chocolate shake with that?"
YAAAASSSSS!!!!! +1 A blade construction option, at time of purchase customization, where it lights up progressively starting from the emitter towards the blade tip.

Not by a long shot. Although it would be a cool effect, having internals inside the blades would only cause more problems as it would limit the functionality of the saber. These are combat sabers. Having lights in the blade would either certainly break after the first hit, or they would require such a degree of reinforcement that it would a) be really expensive, b) be really heavy, and c) most likely kill the lighting effect. Heed the engineers' creed: K.I.S.S.  |

How 'bout a four blade Malice with the option to choose four large or small blades or two of each (which would look really cool). I know it's supposed to have one, but I'm not a big fan of the button on the emitter. Maybe even have emitter windows between the blades.

It's probably been mentioned, in fact I'm sure it has, but I would love the option of getting a saber "weathered" by US. Nothing terribly fancy but just the ability to have an irregular battered pattern of some sort on the hilts.

"Shipping option: no bubble wrap" ...? You do know that you can check No Timeout when you log in, right?
But that takes... effort... waaaaah... |

The other problem with string blades is if just one LED dies, the whole blade looks ruined (one dead spot). |

One of the things about offering options like this is the time involved. One of Ultrasaber's best selling points is turn-around speed. They get you a saber in DAYS, vs WEEKS or more from other guys |

Yeah but I can dig that, I'm one of those kooks who'll wait months for something to arrive if it's cool. |
